Key result
CMR provides comprehensive anatomical and functional assessment of the PA and RV for managing PH.
Why the study?
Doppler echocardiography has limited utility for visualising the pulmonary artery and right ventricle, prompting review of the emerging role of CMR in pulmonary hypertension diagnosis and management.

CMR may support noninvasive PH monitoring; leaves open prospective validation as surrogate endpoint.
CMR is a valuable noninvasive imaging modality for the comprehensive assessment, serial follow-up, and potential surrogate endpoint measurement in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
Aryal et al. (2020) conducted a review in Pulmonary hypertension. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) vs. Other imaging modalities was evaluated. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging provides comprehensive anatomical and functional assessment of the pulmonary artery and right ventricle for managing pulmonary hypertension.
